what's wrong with me and why can't I find a good doctor???
Mon, 08/23/2010 - 20:21I have deleted this post because I am tierd of people telling me to just accept the fact that I have epilepy! My problem is not acceptance. My problem is that I can't find a competant dr. After doing my own research I feel that I very well may have E. HOWEVER. My previous drs all said so based on NOTHING!!!! Which as a medical professional is completely irresponsible. They NEVER looked at test results... or even looked into my history. My first three drs didn't know anything about my family. ALL of them made their choice based on me having ONE seizure. ONE SEIZURE does not mean epilepsy! I have found a few friends on here... and some support... so thank you to those people. In the future... if you answer my posts... I would greatly appreciate you reading the entire post, as all of the above was stated previously.

Sounds like epileptic seizure, but could be caused by other things going on in the brain. I had epilepsy and found the best treatment with an epilepsy specialist. I looked for the doctor that performed my surgery and cured me because I knew he moved to NC. Can't find him, he may have retired but you need to be in an epilepsy monitoring unit for complete testing, mine took about 5 days. here is what I found for NC that looks promising - hope it helps. Write down all of your details, a print-out of your post would be perfect and if you have any questions, write those down and leave room to right the answer you get. Be persistant with getting to the answer it is there, bless you.
